<Outline of the embodiment>
The outline of the embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating an outline of a clothing order manufacturing system S according to an embodiment. The clothing order manufacturing system S includes a clothing order management device 1, a sewing machine control device 2, a sewing machine 3, a plant 4, and a store 5.

  The clothing order management device 1 communicates with the communication terminals T of a plurality of users U who are orderers via a network such as the Internet. The clothing order management device 1 is connected to the information terminal of the clothing designer D handled by the clothing order management device 1 in a communicable manner. The clothing order management device 1 is further connected in a manner communicable with the sewing machine control device 2.

  The clothing order management device 1 provides the user U's communication terminal T with a customization function for clothing design and materials. The clothing order management device 1 acquires from the communication terminal T of the user U the type of clothing that the user U desires to purchase (including size variations), the design of the clothing, and the designation of the material. Here, the wearer may be the same as the user U. However, for example, when the user U orders clothing for the purpose of wearing by someone other than himself, such as when presenting clothing to a family member or friend, The person may be different from the user U.

  The sewing machine control device 2 can communicate with one or more sewing machines 3 and controls the operation of each sewing machine 3. The non-sewn knitting machine control device 2 acquires the manufacturing information of the clothing ordered by the user U from the clothing order management device 1. The non-sewing knitting machine control device 2 selects the non-sewing knitting machine 3 used for manufacturing the garment based on the acquired garment manufacturing information. Next, the sewing machine control device 2 transmits manufacturing information to the selected sewing machine 3 and causes the sewing machine 3 to manufacture clothing.

  The non-sewing knitting machine 3 is an apparatus for knitting clothing based on manufacturing information received from the non-sewing knitting machine control device 2 using fibers or the like made of structural proteins made in the plant 4 as raw materials. The non-sewing knitting machine 3 can knitting the entire garment three-dimensionally, so that the process of cutting and sewing each part of the garment from the fabric is basically unnecessary. For this reason, the garment manufactured by the non-sewn knitting machine 3 has no material discarded by cutting, and is less wasteful.

  Further, in FIG. 1, a store 5 is a store for providing the user U with clothes manufactured by the non-sewn knitting machine 3. Specific examples of the store 5 are a cleaning store, a convenience store, and various shopping centers. Another example of the store 5 is a delivery center such as a delivery company. In the case of the former example, the user U receives the clothes by going to the store 5. In the latter case, the user U can deliver the ordered clothing to a designated place such as home.

  By the way, in general, the same type of clothing of the same brand often has a constant price regardless of its size. However, although small garments should have less raw materials and lower material costs than large sized garments, the difference is often not reflected in the price. On the other hand, in the clothing order manufacturing system S according to the embodiment, the clothing order management device 1 changes the manufacturing information according to the size information of the wearer of the clothing. For this reason, the clothing order management device 1 can calculate the total amount of materials required for manufacturing clothing. Since the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment determines the price reflecting the material cost of clothing, the fairness of price determination felt by the user U can be enhanced.

  Moreover, the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment displays the purchase price of clothing on the screen on which the user U customizes clothing in conjunction with the customization. Since the user U can customize the clothing while confirming the purchase price, it is possible to suppress a situation where the clothing is expensive due to the customization, contrary to the intention of the user U.

  Hereinafter, the clothing order management device 1 constituting the clothing order manufacturing system S will be described in more detail.

<Functional configuration of clothing order management device 1>
FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically illustrating a functional configuration of the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment.

When viewed from the communication terminal T of the user U, the clothing order management device 1 functions as a web server that responds to a request from the communication terminal T or a server equivalent thereto.

  FIG. 2 shows a functional configuration for realizing processing performed between the clothing order management device 1 according to the first embodiment and the communication terminal T, and other configurations are omitted. In FIG. 2, each element described as a functional block for performing various processes can be configured by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a main memory, and other LSI (Large Scale Integration) in hardware. In terms of software, it is realized by a program loaded in the main memory. Therefore, it is understood by those skilled in the art that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof, and is not limited to any one.

  The communication unit 10 is a communication interface for the clothing order management device 1 to communicate with the communication terminal T of the user U. The communication unit 10 is realized by a known communication module such as a Wi-Fi (registered trademark) module or a LAN (Local Area Network) module.

  The storage unit 20 includes a ROM that stores a BIOS (Basic Input Output System) of a computer that implements the clothing order management device 1, a RAM (Random Access Memory) that is a work area of the clothing order management device 1, and an OS (Operating System). And a mass storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) that stores various information referred to when the application program is executed.

  The control unit 30 is a processor such as a CPU or a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) of the clothing order management device 1, and executes a program stored in the storage unit 20 to execute the clothing selection unit 301, the clothing selection unit 301, and price calculation. Functions as a unit 302, an image generation unit 303, an operation region setting unit 304, a parameter change unit 305, an object display unit 306, a blending rate setting unit 307, a graph presentation unit 308, and a budget setting unit 309.

  Hereinafter, the functional configuration of the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment and the GUI (Graphical User Interface) displayed on the display unit of the communication terminal T will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 8 as appropriate.

  The display control unit 300 controls the GUI displayed on the communication terminal T of the user U. More specifically, the display control unit 300 provides the communication terminal T with a GUI for realizing the function of each unit of the control unit 30 via the communication unit 10. Hereinafter, each part of the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment may omit the description on the assumption that the GUI is displayed on the display unit of the communication terminal T via the display control unit 300 and the communication unit 10. is there.

  The clothing selection unit 301 accepts clothing selection from the user. More specifically, the clothing selection unit 301 provides a GUI for selecting clothing to the communication terminal T of the user U in response to a request from the communication terminal T acquired via the communication unit 10.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a clothing selection screen displayed by the communication terminal T according to the embodiment. The GUI example shown in FIG. 3 is an example of the front page of the clothing selection screen displayed by the communication terminal T according to the embodiment. On the front page of the clothing selection screen, the user U can select a budget for purchasing clothing, the sex of the wearer of clothing, the size of clothing, and the genre of clothing.

  In the example shown in FIG. 3, the user U has selected “150 $” as the upper limit of the budget, “male” as the gender of the wearer, “M” as the clothing size, and “sweater” as the clothing genre. In the GUI shown in FIG. 3, when the user U does not input the budget field, the upper limit of the budget is not set. The clothing selection unit 301 receives information input to the GUI displayed on the communication terminal T via the communication unit 10.

  When the user U selects an “item display icon” for displaying a specific item in the selected clothing genre, a more detailed item selection screen (not shown) is displayed on the display unit of the communication terminal T. For example, when the user U selects “sweater” as the genre of clothes, various clothes classified as sweaters are displayed on the communication terminal T. Thereby, the user U can easily select clothing suitable for his / her preference.

  The clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment is a part of the clothing order manufacturing system S, and can accept the customization of the user U regarding the clothing selected by the user U. For example, when the user U selects “M size sweater” as the type of clothing, the user U can adjust the sleeve length, neck shape, sweater material, and the like of the selected sweater. For this reason, changeable parameters relating to the design, material, and manufacturing process of the clothing are set in each clothing handled by the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment.

  Here, the “parameter relating to design” is a parameter indicating the outer shape of the clothing selected by the user U. The parameters relating to the design are roughly divided into a parameter indicating the size of clothing and a parameter indicating the shape of clothing. The parameters representing the shape of the clothing are the type of each part of the clothing (for example, the neck and Henry neck if the type is around the neck), the length and width of each part, and the size of the mesh if the clothing is knitted. A parameter indicating the like is included. The “material-related parameter” is a parameter that specifies the material of clothing. When clothing is composed of a plurality of materials instead of a single material, the blending ratio is also included in the parameters relating to the material. The “parameter relating to the manufacturing process” includes at least one of indicators indicating the time required for manufacturing the garment or the complexity of the manufacturing process. An initial parameter database (not shown) that associates each garment with its initial parameters is stored in advance in the storage unit 20.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a selection result display screen displayed by the communication terminal T according to the embodiment. FIG. 4 shows a GUI displayed when the user U selects “Cashmere blend sweater” on the item selection screen. At this stage, since the user U has not performed customization, initial parameters are set for the clothing. Specifically, in the cashmere blend sweater displayed in FIG. 4A, the sleeve length is “long sleeve”, the neck is “round neck”, the material is 45% protein-based silk, 55% cashmere, etc. The parameters are set.

  The price calculation unit 302 calculates the price of the clothing based on the clothing parameter selected by the user U. More specifically, the price calculation unit 302 calculates the total amount of materials required for manufacturing clothing based on the clothing parameters, and determines a price reflecting the clothing material cost. The display control unit 300 displays the price calculated by the price calculation unit 302 on the display unit of the communication terminal T. FIG. 4 shows an example in which 110 $ is displayed as the clothing price.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram schematically showing the data structure of a material unit price database that shows clothing materials and their unit prices in a tabular format. The material unit price database is stored in the storage unit 20 and is managed by the price calculation unit 302. The price calculation unit 302 calculates the price of clothing based on the unit price and amount of material used for clothing.

  Specifically, the price calculation unit 302 obtains the total amount of each material necessary for manufacturing clothing from the parameters set for the clothing. The price calculation unit 302 calculates the raw material cost by multiplying the unit price of each material acquired with reference to the material unit price database by the total amount of each material. Accordingly, the price calculation unit 302 can increase the value of the price as the amount of the material used for the clothing increases, that is, reflect the clothing material cost in the clothing price.

  The price calculation unit 302 calculates a final price by adding an expense for manufacturing clothing to the calculated material cost of clothing. At this time, the price calculation unit 302 calculates the price of the clothing based further on the parameters relating to the manufacturing process set for the clothing. Although details are omitted, the cost of manufacturing a garment varies depending on parameters relating to the garment manufacturing process. That is, depending on the customization by the user U, a special device may be required for manufacturing. In such a case, the price calculation unit 302 adds the cost generated by using the special device to the price of clothing.

  The appearance image of the clothing displayed in FIG. 4 is generated by the image generation unit 303 based on the parameters set for the clothing. In the GUI shown in FIG. 4, when the user U selects a “customize” icon for customizing clothing, the display screen of the communication terminal T transitions to a customization screen.

  FIGS. 6A to 6B are diagrams illustrating an example of a customization screen displayed by the communication terminal T according to the embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a sleeve customization screen, and FIG. 6B is a diagram showing a neck shape customization screen.

  In FIGS. 6A to 6B, an area indicated by a broken line is an operation area 40 for receiving an input of a change operation for changing a parameter from the user U. The operation area 40 is set on the display unit of the communication terminal T by the operation area setting unit 304. In conjunction with the operation input made by the user U in the operation area 40, the parameter changing unit 305 changes the parameter set in the clothing. Hereinafter, the parameter change will be described in more detail.

  As described above, each garment handled by the garment order management apparatus 1 according to the embodiment is set with changeable parameters relating to the design, material, and manufacturing process of the garment. The parameter changing unit 305 can continuously change at least a part of the parameters relating to the design or the material among the parameters set in the clothing. In order to realize this, the object display unit 306 displays the first object 41 extending in the operation area 40 and the second object 42 moving on the first object 41 in response to the operation of the user U by the communication terminal T. Is displayed on the display.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the object display unit 306 displays two first objects 41, ie, a vertical first object 41a and a horizontal first object 41b. The object display unit 306 displays the vertical second object 42a on the vertical first object 41a and the horizontal second object 42b on the horizontal first object 41b. The user U can continuously change the position on the vertical first object 41a by operating the vertical second object 42a.

  Since the vertical first object 41a extends in the vertical direction of the display unit of the communication terminal T, the user U can move the vertical second object 42a in the vertical direction on the display unit. The user U can also change the position on the horizontal first object 41b continuously by operating the horizontal second object 42b. Since the horizontal first object 41b extends in the horizontal direction of the display unit of the communication terminal T, the user U can move the vertical second object 42a in the horizontal direction on the display unit. The parameter changing unit 305 changes a parameter related to at least one of the design and the material among the parameters set in the clothing based on the displacement of the changing operation in the operation area 40.

  In the example shown in FIGS. 6A to 6B, the change unit instruction icon 43 is an icon indicating a parameter adjustment location. In FIG. 6A, the change unit instruction icon 43 is placed at the position of the sleeve, indicating that the user U is a GUI for customizing the sleeve.

  Specifically, in FIG. 6A, the vertical second object 42a on the vertical first object 41a corresponds to the length of the sleeve. The horizontal second object 42b on the horizontal first object 41b corresponds to the width of the sleeve. When the user U moves the vertical second object 42a in the upper direction of the display unit of the communication terminal T, the parameter related to the sleeve length set in the clothing is changed to the parameter changing unit so that the length of the sleeve is shortened. 305 to change. Similarly, when the user U moves the horizontal second object 42b to the right of the display unit of the communication terminal T, the parameter relating to the length of the sleeve set in the clothing is set so that the length of the sleeve is increased. Is changed by the parameter changing unit 305.

  In FIG. 6B, the change unit instruction icon 43 is placed at the neck position, indicating that the user U is a GUI for customizing the neck. Each time the user U taps the change portion instruction icon 43, the shape of the neck is cyclically changed in order such as a round neck, a turtle neck, a U neck, a V neck, and the like. FIG. 6B shows an example in which a V-neck is selected as the neck shape. The vertical second object 42a is an adjustment of the length (depth) of the V-neck, and the horizontal second object 42b. Is used to adjust the width of the V-neck.

  FIGS. 7A to 7C are diagrams showing another example of the customization screen displayed by the communication terminal T according to the embodiment, specifically showing an example of a screen for customizing the clothing material. FIG. In the example shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, the second object 42 corresponds to the mixing ratio of the clothing material.

  The blending rate setting unit 307 receives a setting of the blending rate of the material constituting the selected clothing from the user U. The GUI shown in FIG. 7 is a GUI for customizing the blending ratio of the cashmere blend sweater material. The material of the cashmere blend sweater is cashmere and protein-based silk. When the user U changes the position of the second object 42 on the first object 41, the blending ratio setting unit 307 acquires the blending ratio linked to the position. . In addition, when the user U changes the position of the 2nd object 42 and the mixing rate of any raw material shall be 100%, the clothing will be manufactured with a single raw material.

  The graph presenting unit 308 causes the display unit of the communication terminal T to display a graph indicating the nature of clothing based on the set blending rate. 7 (a)-(b), a radar chart 44 is a graph showing the properties (toughness, lightness, elasticity, breathability, heat retention, and life) of the cashmere blend sweater at a set blending rate. It has become. When the user U moves the second object 42 and changes the mixture ratio, the graph presentation unit 308 changes the radar chart 44 in conjunction with the change. Thereby, the user U can determine the mixing | blending rate of a raw material, confirming the property of clothing. In FIG. 7C, the textile display area 45 is an area for displaying the textile of the clothing using the material at the set blending ratio. The user U can confirm the texture of clothing by observing the textile display area 45.

  When the user U customizes clothing, the parameter changing unit 305 changes the parameter in conjunction with the input from the user U. For example, when the user U shortens the length of the sleeve, the material for manufacturing the garment decreases. Moreover, if the user U raises the mixture rate of the raw material with a high unit price, the material cost for manufacturing clothing will become high.

  The display control unit 300 causes the display unit of the communication terminal T to display the price reflecting the changed parameter, triggered by the change of the parameter. For example, the display control unit 300 causes the display unit to display the price of the clothing based on the changed blending rate when the blending rate of the material is changed. As described above, the price calculation unit 302 changes the price of the clothing in conjunction with the continuous change of the parameters, so that the user U can set various parameters while confirming the final price of the clothing. .

  As illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7, the display control unit 300 causes the display unit to display an appearance image that reflects the changed parameter, triggered by the parameter U input from the user U. For example, in FIG. 6A, when the user U moves the horizontal second object 42b downward in the screen, the parameter is changed so that the sleeve becomes longer in conjunction with the movement. Therefore, when the user U moves the horizontal second object 42b in the lower direction of the screen, the display control unit 300 causes the display unit to display an appearance image in which the length of the sleeve is increased. As described above, the parameter changing unit 305 changes the design parameters based on the displacement amount and the displacement direction of the second object 42, so that the user U can intuitively customize the clothing while viewing the image.

  As described with reference to FIG. 3, the user U can set a clothing budget. The budget setting unit 309 accepts a budget setting prepared by the user U for purchasing clothing. Here, when the user U customizes clothing, the price of clothing may increase and exceed the budget. Therefore, when the price calculated by the price calculation unit 302 exceeds the budget set by the user U, the display control unit 300 displays a message notifying that on the display unit of the communication terminal T.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a budget excess notification screen displayed by the communication terminal T according to the embodiment. In the example shown in FIG. 8, when the user U sets 150 $ as the upper limit of the budget, a display example when the price of clothing exceeds 150 $ by custom is shown. As shown in FIG. 8, since the budget excess message 46 is displayed on the display unit of the communication terminal T, the user U can easily recognize that the clothing price has unintentionally exceeded the budget due to clothing customization. Can do.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining a flow of information processing executed by the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment. The processing in this flowchart starts when the clothing order management device 1 is activated, for example.

  The clothing selection unit 301 receives a clothing selection from the user U (S2). The parameter changing unit 305 accepts a change of parameters set for clothing from the user U (S4). The image generation unit 303 creates an appearance image of clothing based on the changed parameters (S6).

  The price calculation unit 302 calculates the price of the clothing based on the changed parameter (S8). The display control unit 300 displays the appearance image created by the image generation unit 303 and the price calculated by the price calculation unit 302 on the communication terminal T of the user U (S10). By repeating the above, the clothing order management device 1 can provide the user U with a clothing customization function.

As described above, according to the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment, it is possible to provide a technique for presenting the price of clothing to an orderer when customizing clothing.
In particular, the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment displays the price reflecting the changed parameters on the communication terminal T of the user U when the user U changes the parameters set in the clothing. The user U can customize the clothing while checking the price.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment. It is apparent from the scope of the claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  In the above, when the user U moves the second object 42 on the customization screen shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B to change the mixture ratio, the graph presentation unit 308 changes the radar chart 44 in conjunction with the change. Explained the case. Instead of this, or in addition to this, when the user U changes the radar chart 44, the blending ratio may be changed so that the changed radar chart 44 has the properties shown.

  For example, a chart change receiving unit (not shown) included in the clothing order management device 1 receives a radar chart change from the user U, and the parameter changing unit 305 refers to a correspondence table (not shown) stored in the storage unit 20. This can be realized by determining a blending ratio that exhibits the same or similar properties as the radar chart. The correspondence table is a table that stores a plurality of types of blending rates and the properties of the material at each blending rate determined in advance by experiments in association with each other. Thereby, even if the user U does not have the knowledge about the property of each raw material, he can change a compounding ratio intuitively by changing a radar chart.

  In the above, the case where the apparatus for manufacturing clothes in the clothes order manufacturing system S is the non-sewn knitting machine 3 has been mainly described. However, an apparatus for manufacturing clothes by the clothing order manufacturing system S is not limited to the non-sewing knitting machine 3. The GUI provided by the clothing order management device 1 according to the embodiment to the communication terminal T is applied even in the case where clothing is manufactured in an automation factory or the like including a process of cutting and sewing each part from the fabric (cut and saw). can do.
